The I&O on a June Morning.


Today on the Indianna and Ohio RR (I&O) in Lancaster, I spotted the local switching cars at the Anchor Hocking glass plant.
The first two photos are of 2602 backing up on the main to switch over to the plant siding.
The engineer then switched directions and move back down the siding to clear the switch to move into the plant.
The last photo shows the cars being shoved into the plant. Each car has sand for the glass plant. The last time I watched this event, one car was leaving quite a trail of sand behind as it moved. All along the tracks you can spot little piles of sand in the middle of the track from leaking cars.

As always, right click on the photos and open as a new tab or window to enlarge the view.
